In the kingdom of Urak, the tower of Druaga is a source of fear and death; it is the cause of disease and monster attacks, and climbing it is impossible given the ferocity of the monsters within – until now. It is the Summer of Anu, a period that occurs once every five years during which the monsters are weakened. Jil, a guardian, is one adventurer whose goal is to reach the top level and slay the tower’s creator, the demon Druaga, and finally bring peace to Uruk with the help of a powerful artifact found within. However, Jil and his friends aren’t the only ones who aim for the top; it’s a race to the finish!
In a massive online world, people act only as well as their conscience demands. When one player's punishment is to be trapped in this world, a disparate group of people seek the answers why. Their motives are varied; their methods even more so. What stands between when we tear down the walls of reality? Where does our soul end and we begin?
I have chosen .hack//SIGN from the series, since its the first one.
The similarities are obvious, both worlds are somewhat MMORPG-like, in fact "The World" in .hack really is an MMO, which is not necessarily true about Druaga no Tou.
Whether its true or false, fact remains fact, someone who enjoyed that particular (and perhaps nostalgic) atmosphere in .hack, will probably like the atmosphere of Druaga no Tou as well.
It is still unsure how will Druaga no Tou carry on, but whether it takes a philosophical turn or not, any .hack fan will be able to enjoy it.
Similar feels to them, both take place in fantasy game worlds, and thus implement the typical class systems found in these games. I definitely think people who like one would like the other, most likely.

In an age when samurai enhanced their bodies mechanically, a great war broke out. After the war's end, these "Bandits" (having become mere robbers) have lost their samurai code and now rob villages for their rice and women. The peasants of Kanna Village are filled with despair and agree to hire some samurai to retaliate, but with only rice in their food stores and no money to offer, it seems that time is running out. Now, the villagers must set out to look for samurai willing to accept such a deal -- but are there still such men that abide by the samurai code, and protect the weak?
Both anime have a young upstart hero with a strong sense of right and wrong. They both have to battle an evil that is far beyond what they think they ca handle at first.
Both have it so that there are many characters in a party fighting together at any given point almost. If you like hero type anime, and adventure then this is the one for you!
What if roller skates had high power engines that enabled the skaters to do stunning new tricks that defy gravity? What if you saw a beautiful girl effortlessly glide through the air with them? To Ikki, this is reason enough to secretly borrow a pair of Air Treck skates, and step into an underground world filled with gang fights and strange customs. Enamored with high-flying stunts and the flirtatious Simca, Ikki forms an Air Treck gang of his own and starts a life of fighting rival gangs and flying over the rooftops, chasing the girl always one kick ahead of him.
To prove yourself have always been a tought business. But even after that, there are still people who won't look at you the way you desire. Bot Air Gear and Tower of Druaga: the Aegis of Uruk follow the same theme. Ikki from Air Gear and Jil from Tower of Druaga are able to prove themselves in the long run for, not to say, a little cheap price. The difference between the two, however, is that Ikki succeeds in making his dream come true without losing anything, while Jil is left behind by the person he believed in the most. After all both anime have an open end and maybe will continue soon enough with a second season!
